Throttle Tool not working on server

HomesickSurfer

Hi

 

My workflow has a throttle at a rate of 1 record per minute, having a maximum 15 incoming records.

The workflow is configured with a Send Email event to send Before Run....advising recipients that the workflow will update an output file in 15 minutes.

The throttle is precise locally in Designer, yet completed in seconds in the Gallery.

 

I suspect some sort of caching issue?  Is anyone aware of this and able to offer a comparable workaround

Would you be able to share a snapshot of how you have the Throttle configured?

Hi @MichalM 

 

Text Input with 15 records.

Throttle set to 1 record per minute.

Browse.

In the Events, and email set to deliver at workflow start.

 

Workflow completes in Designer in 15 minutes as expected, but doesnt throttle when run in Gallery.

I think this is because you end the workflow with a Browse but in the server context this doesn't make much sense as the data can't be viewed. You can fix this by either using the Block Until Done module right after Throttle which will make sure that you wait for all of the records before the workflow concludes or using Output Data instead of Browse.
